Relative wages have been remarkably rigid for the last two decades in Danish manufacturing despite large shifts in relative employment from unskilled labor towards skilled and educated labor. Assuming capital-skill complementarity and fixed relative wages as a consequence of labor market...

We connect the recent medical and economic literatures on the long-run effects of early-life conditions, by analyzing the effects of economic conditions on the individual cardiovascular (CV) mortality rate later in life, using individual data records from the Danish Twin Registry covering births...

I present empirical results on the contribution of three key drivers of inflation in Denmark: an inflation trend anchored by inflation expectations; the Danish business cycle; and an energy price cycle. All three drivers contribute significantly to the development of inflation and explain most of...

Auch in Dänemark schwächte sich das Wirtschaftswachstum im Laufe des vergangenen Jahres ab. Das reale Bruttoinlandsprodukt dürfte nur noch um 1 ¼ % expandiert sein. Auf dem Arbeitsmarkt hat sich die Lage zuletzt etwas verschlechtert. Die Arbeitslosenquote lag im Jahresdurchschnitt bei 4 ½...

Nach der konjunkturellen Verlangsamung 2001 haben sich Nachfrage und Produktion in Dänemark 2002 wieder lebhafter erhöht. Das reale Bruttoinlandsprodukt hat um 1½% zugenommen. Auf dem Arbeitsmarkt blieb die Lage günstig. Die Arbeitslosenquote lag im Jahresdurchschnitt bei 4¼%. Die...

This paper performs a welfare analysis based on the hypothetical scenario that Denmark gave up its peg and started conducting monetary policy according to a Taylor rule. For this we rely on a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for a small open economy that was estimated on Danish data...

We decompose the Danish business cycle into ten structural shocks using an open-economy DSGE model with infrequent determination of prices and wages which we estimate with Bayesian techniques. Consistent with the Danish monetary policy regime, we formulate an imperfect peg on the foreign...

Danish business cycles from 1974 to 2000 are studied. The HP-filter and the Baxter-king filter are applied and several empirical regularities are identified: Consumption tends to lead the business cycle while investment, especially construction, follows with a lag. Export does not covariate...
